"My ultimate goal as an educator is to share my knowledge and experience, inspiring beginning students with a sense of what they can achieve and guiding more advanced pupils in their quest for mastery. Music can be a spiritually enriching part of life, and no one should have to go without the opportunity to experience, appreciate, and, hopefully, practice it."
